About

Christina sent her Secret Santa a bunch of Weaselfactory stuff for Christmas 2011!

We are always inspired by our travels. We made these when we got back from Kenya.

Christina made this to wear to a screening to the best worst movie of all time... The Room.

Bangles galore!

We're Daniel and Christina. We love animals, Mexican food, gardening, and watching terrible movies. We're the Weasels behind Weaselfactory. We make items that are colourful and quirky, with a pinch of humour.

How did we get started? Well, Christina made things for herself because she was too cheap to buy jewellery. Daniel always made Christina jewellery as gifts, because he knew that would win her over. It worked.

Now we make things together and it works pretty well. Daniel designs, makes and does all of the assembly because Christina is too uncoordinated to glue tiny bits together. Christina designs, makes, packages and ships. If you send us a convo, Christina is the one who usually answers.

We're obsessed with travelling to far away places as much as possible, so you'll find our shop shut from time to time. Many of our designs are influenced by the places we've visited. We always arrive home with loads of ideas.

Thank you for stopping by and saying hi. Check out our profile if you want to know any other boring information about us. :-)

Greetings from the Weaselfactory. We are the weaselworkers, Daniel and Christina. We like to use our coffee table as a workshop from time to time to make fun things. Most of the stuff we make are inspired by things we like: dogs, Japan, dinosaurs, and plastic. We have two dachshunds called Magnus and Nikolai who sometimes give us dirty looks for spending too much time making things instead of paying attention to them. They are spoiled.

We make fun, kitschy stuff, but we never skimp on materials. We use the best silver chain you can buy... Sterling silver 925. Nothing we use is "silver coated" or any dodgy metal that will turn your neck or ears green.

Shipping

**The deadline for NON-UK orders for Christmas delivery has now passed. UK orders still have until the 5th of December. Please contact us with any questions.**

*International orders: Please note that we cannot absolutely guarantee arrival for Christmas due to parcels being held up at international boarders for thorough inspections. In the past we have found that this is not usually a problem and parcels will arrive in a timely manner, however last year there were reported delays to the USA because of heightened security.

►Address:
We only ship to your Etsy invoice address - not the Paypal one. So please make sure that your Etsy address is correct. Drop us a message if this needs to be changed or if your product is a gift and needs to go elsewhere (we can include a gift note as well).

►Postage:
We ship in the UK via Royal Mail First Class, or internationally via Royal Mail Airmail.

►International shipping:
We can offer tracking for an extra charge, please convo us if you require this and we will invoice you for the extra postage. However, it's worth noting that in our experience, international parcels won't track once they enter the destination country, as many of the systems do not communicate rendering the service somewhat useless.

International orders can take anywhere from 1-5 weeks to get to their destination. We have found that international orders usually take on average 2 weeks to reach their destination, but in rare instances an international order has taken much longer to arrive. If your parcel has not arrived within 5 weeks, please contact us.

Please be aware that we cannot be held responsible for postal delays (under 5 weeks), customs holdups, nor international customs charges. Additional import fees are the responsibility of the purchaser. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding this.

Royal Mail keeps a website updated regarding international mail delays (due to weather, security, etc.) You can see that here: http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=400033&mediaId=3800088

►Ship times:
Please check shop announcement for current shipping times for both in stock and custom item orders. Convo us with any questions.

Refunds and Exchanges

Non-customised/non-personalised items: We want you to be happy with your Weaselfactory purchase and pride ourselves on good customer service. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us. We handle refunds and exchanges on a case-by-case basis and will be happy to work with you. For unwanted items, it is the buyer's responsibility to pay for postage to return the item(s).

Customised/personalised items: Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges on customised items (e.g. name necklaces). However, we always offer mockups for customised work before it is sent, so you always know what you're getting.

Although it happens rarely, if your item has been damaged or broken during shipping, please contact us immediately and we will replace your product as necessary.

Some of our designs are fragile (see individual descriptions), but will hold up just fine if handled appropriately. Because of this, we cannot be held responsible for items broken due to misuse / mishandling.

If you are concerned about fragility, please conversation us and we will be happy to cut a custom piece thicker, however this may affect the design.
